"Yes, our Dazhuang grew up with you..."
A trace of despair flashed across Captain Wang's eyes. He could already imagine this incident. Once it broke out, what kind of criticism would their entire Wang family face?
So until this moment, he was still struggling: "Officer Li, is this a mistake?
Wang Hua was in the village all day today, and many people saw it.
Besides, no one wants to see the ox cart overturned into the ditch.
But it's normal that the road is slippery when it's dark, right? It's not like we haven't had bullock carts fall into ditches before.
Look... did you misunderstand something?"
Li Zhi said sternly: "Captain Wang, as the captain of Dayu Village, you know that harboring someone is a crime.
We heard your conversation clearly from outside just now.
If it was just a bullock cart that overturned into the ditch today, it might have been just an accident.
But two cars overturned, both in the same place. Do you believe it was an accident?
Furthermore, it has been confirmed that Wang Hua had bought some medicine some time ago that could make animals go crazy and horny.
Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. If you don’t want to implicate your family, just confess as soon as possible and go to the police station with us.”
His righteous words made Captain Wang's legs tremble.
He almost couldn't stand and fell down in one breath.
Looking at Li Zhi's intimidating gaze, he was speechless and dared not speak anymore.
The two policemen behind Li Zhi quickly walked to Wang Hua, took out handcuffs and were about to handcuff him.
Wang Hua's eyes turned fierce. He stretched out his hand to push the two policemen away, and spread his long legs to climb over the wall to escape.
But Secretary Wang's words made him unable to move even a step: "You can run, but from now on, anyone who runs will be a fugitive.
Your whole family will be charged with a crime in the future. Is this the consequence you want to see?"
Wang Hua lowered his eyes, and his brother behind him pleaded quietly: "Brother, just go with them."
"Yes, big brother, if our whole family is convicted, how will we live in the future?"
The two younger brothers' voices were full of pleading, and the fourth brother quickly whispered, "Brother, you take care of this matter. Don't worry about your parents, sister-in-law, and nephew. We will take good care of them."
It is impossible to say that Wang Hua is not disappointed.
But he also knew that this was the best solution at the moment.
Only if he takes full responsibility for the matter himself and does not involve other people, can the matter be completely resolved.
He sighed heavily, stretched out his hands, and allowed the two policemen to handcuff him.
Li Zhi turned his head and looked at Captain Wang: "Next, please come with us.
Secretary Wang, you also need to go to the county with us."
After all, this is a matter under Secretary Wang’s jurisdiction, and he knows everything that happened today.
Secretary Wang nodded gently: "Okay, let's go."
He waved at Lu Yong, who was following at the end, and said, "Go back to the cannery later and take the people from your village away."
Lu Yong responded repeatedly.
After they left, Dayu Village was in an uproar.
Some aunts who were not members of the Wang family started to make a scene: "Did we get hit in vain?
If I wasn’t lucky, I would be the one with missing arms and legs.”
"That's right, didn't you hear what the nurse said? Some people might get this or that concussion.
Someone might die right away. No, we must get an explanation for this matter."
The aunt who had brought Officer Li and the others to Captain Wang's home rolled her eyes, cleared her throat and said, "Captain Wang has been taken away for questioning, but the branch secretary is still here.
Let's go ask Secretary Liu to see if he can make the decision for us on this matter."
When the many aunts heard this, they thought it was a good idea and they all rushed to Secretary Liu's house.
That aunt is from Lao Liu's family. The entire Dayu Village is divided into half by Lao Wang's family and Lao Liu's family.
There is also competition among them. If they can squeeze out Captain Wang, and both the branch secretary and the captain have the surname Liu, then they will have some advantages in the future whether they are working or doing anything else.
This matter not only involves the people of Dayu Village, but also the two pregnant women in Director Xu's family.
Director Xu requested a thorough investigation, and Li Zhi and his colleagues worked until the next morning before the case was finally closed.
Wang Hua took the whole thing under his belt, and because so many people were involved, he was eventually sentenced to 40 years in prison.
They were also sent to the Northwest for forced labor.
When the news reached the Wang family, Wang Hua's parents fainted immediately.
Many people saw this scene, but they did not have the slightest sympathy.
"Bah! You can't bear it when something happens to your own son.
Why didn’t you think that if something happened to us, my family wouldn’t be able to bear it!”
"That's right, that's right, it's true that if you don't get hit yourself, you don't know the pain.
He deserves it. When I was little, I thought Wang Hua was smart, but who would have thought that he would use his smartness to do bad things? "
The aunts' scolding made the Wang family lock the door with trembling hands.
There were even some radical ones who scooped sewage from their own dry toilets and poured it on Lao Wang's door.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more serious, Secretary Liu gradually stepped out to play the good guy: "Okay, everyone has cursed and said what they want.
Things have already happened, we can’t force people to death.
Didn't the police already sentence Wang Hua to jail? That's an explanation for us."
"We have to explain, but the wound on our heads cannot be in vain.
There were still a few people lying there in the county hospital with short arms and legs!
We must settle this account carefully."
There were several big men standing behind the talking aunties. A man with a shaved head said loudly, "That's right, you have to give us some compensation for this matter, right?
I heard that the Wang family's sons are all capable and have a lot of surplus grain every year, so how about this, each family compensates us with 100 kilograms of grain."
Secretary Liu glared at him fiercely and said, "It's not okay to ask for too much."
After his mediation, the Wang family finally paid each household 20 kilograms of grain as compensation.
Just this cost the Wang family half their lives.
Counting more than a dozen households, that’s more than 300 kilograms of grain.
An adult laborer can only get about 300 kilograms of food throughout the year.
This directly meant that their family was short of food for one person. The people in Lao Wang's family still wanted to survive in the village, so they had to grit their teeth and give this food.
Fortunately, Wang Hua had saved up a lot of money and paid it to the government, which allowed them to barely survive.
"Oh, what a sin!"
Captain Wang sat in his yard, sighing.
After this incident, he was also punished.
